A unique tour to three of Israel's highlights. First, hike to the top of the Masada fortress to see the amazing sunrise, climbing via the famous snake path. Next, there will be a chance to explore the Ein Gedi Oasis, a nature reserve with natural springs. And finally, relax at the Dead Sea, bathing in the mud at the lowest point on Earth.

Dead Sea mud as well as the unique experience of floating on the rich mineral water of the sea itself

The Dead Sea is located at the lowest point on Earth in the South of Israel. No plant or animal can live in the Dead Sea due to its high salt content which is about 33%. The waters of the Dead Sea are said to be very therapeutic for all sorts of skin ailments, due to the high mineral content in the water. Masada resides on a plateau in the middle of the desert. King Herod was the first to come and build for himself 2 palaces on Masada. Masada is known for the Jews residing here and how the Romans built a huge ramp and finally with fifteen thousand troops conquered Masada. They did it by building a ramp that was 375 feet from bedrock stones.

We start traveling south of Jerusalem through the Judean Hills. This tour passes the Inn of the Good Samaritan and pauses by the sign indicating sea level. Our first stop on this tour is Masada, a “mesa” or flat-topped rock outcrop rising 450m from the desert plains. We take a cable car to the plateau summit of Masada where there are breath-taking views of the Dead Sea. Thanks to the dry climate and remote location the structures have been well preserved. About 100 years later during the First Jewish–Roman War (66–73 CE), a group of Jewish zealots took refuge on Masada. They held off the Romans for several months until the Romans built an earthen ramp to scale the steep cliffs. Then you'll go nearby Dead Sea past Ein Gedi and Qumran, the site of the Dead Sea Scroll discovery. If time permits, we will stop for refreshments at the Dead Sea Mineral Cosmetic factory. Our final stop on this tour is the Dead Sea where you can relax on the beach and unwind.
